How to use it

  1. Enter distance, other distance, hours, minutes, seconds and split length.
  2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
  3. Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.

How it is calculated

Split pace = goal time ÷ distance in split units. Cumulative time at marker n = n × split pace, and the last row is the finish line.

Example

Inputs: Distance = Half marathon (21.0975 km), Hours = 1, Minutes = 59, Seconds = 0, Split length = Every kilometer. Result: Pace per split: 5:38 min/km; Total time: 1:59:00.

Limits and caveats

  • The table assumes even splits and adds no time for hills or water stations.
  • Course markers can differ slightly from the distance your watch measures.

Questions about this tool

What are even splits?

Running every kilometer in about the same time. It is a common plan because it spreads effort and avoids fading early.

What pace is a 4 hour marathon?

About 5:41 per kilometer, or 9:09 per mile.

How do I use the table on race day?

Print it or note a few times, then check your watch at each marker to see if you are ahead of or behind plan.
